[The pig looks at them a moment haughtily, not interested in being petted. It squeals at them both, a warning.]

Yes, I know he was just chasing you around. We're trying to protect the farmers' crops. If you keep eating from them, there won't be enough to carry through to spring. Your children will go hungry.

[If pigs can look shocked, this pig looks shocked. It flaps its ears at them.]

If you come with us, you and your friends, we can make sure you and your spring children are fed. You just have to eat somewhere else. Let the farmers bring you the food that's good to eat.

[Squinting at them, the pig snorts.]
